Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions 26.0 and prior, the AVideo installation script install/deleteSystemdPrivate.php contains a PHP operator precedence bug in its CLI-only access guard. The script is intended to run exclusively from the command line, but the guard condition !php_sapi_name() = 'cli' never evaluates to true due to how PHP resolves operator precedence. The ! (logical NOT) operator binds more tightly than = (strict comparison), causing the expression to always evaluate to false, which means the die() statement never executes. As a result, the script is accessible via HTTP without authentication and will delete files from the server's temp directory while also disclosing the temp directory contents in its response. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote attackers can bypass CLI-only access controls in WWBN AVideo versions 26.0 and prior via a PHP operator precedence bug in install/deleteSystemdPrivate.php, allowing HTTP access to delete server temp directory files and disclose their contents without authentication. The vulnerability stems from a logic error where !php_sapi_name() === 'cli' evaluates incorrectly due to operator binding precedence, causing the access guard to fail entirely. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported at the time of this analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in the install/deleteSystemdPrivate.php script, which relies on a PHP access guard to restrict execution to CLI contexts only. The guard uses the expression !php_sapi_name() = 'cli', intending to deny access if the script is not running via CLI. However, PHP's operator precedence causes the logical NOT operator (!) to bind more tightly than the strict comparison operator (=), resulting in evaluation as (!php_sapi_name()) = 'cli' instead of the intended !(php_sapi_name() = 'cli'). When accessed via HTTP, php_sapi_name() returns a non-empty string (e.g., 'fpm-fcgi'), and the negation of a non-empty string becomes an empty string, which never equals the string 'cli', causing the guard condition to always evaluate false. This is a CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) vulnerability, specifically an authentication bypass through logic error. The affected product is WWBN AVideo (cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), with all versions up to and including 26.0 vulnerable.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Immediate mitigation steps should include: (1) restricting HTTP access to the install/ directory at the web server level (nginx, Apache) by denying all requests to paths matching install/*.php; (2) if the installation script is no longer needed post-deployment, deleting or moving the entire install/ directory off the web root; (3) implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block HTTP requests to install/deleteSystemdPrivate.php specifically. Administrators should monitor the GitHub Security Advisory (https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-wwpw-hrx8-79r5) for patch availability and upgrade immediately once a patched version is released. Organizations unable to apply patches should apply the web server-level access controls as a temporary measure and validate that no installation scripts remain web-accessible.
